Which evaporates faster alcohol or ether?

Answer 1

There are two reasons for this;

{1} boiling point:

Tthe boiling point of water is greater than that of ether. So when the boiling point is greater then the vapour pressure will be low.

{2} intermolecular forces:

The second is intermolecular forces. When intermolecular forces are greater then the the boiling point will be greater and if boiling point is greater then the vapor pressure will be low.

The inter molecular forces of water is greater than that of ether and so the vapour pressure will be low and and boiling point will be greater.

Answer 2

Alcohol evaporate faster than water because water has extensive hydrogen bonding between its molecules which results in its high boiling point whereas in alcohol, amount of hydrogen bonding is smaller as compared to water.

This makes the boiling point of alcohol less than water.

Answer 3

Ether evaporates faster than alcohol since the boiling point of ether(34.6 degree celsius) is less than that of alcohol (78 degree celsius).

Answer 4

Ether evaporates faster than alcohol as the boiling point of ether is less than that of alcohol.

Answer 5

Ether evaporate faster.
